anyone kno what happend to this "Kiai master"?

[ShortFormMike]

my friend emailed me this link. of course it's that no touch kind of bullshit. anyway, the old man gets knocked out badly by an MMA guy. i'm just curious if anyone knows if he was seriously injured. even though the guy's a fraud he clearly didn't know it and i feel bad for him for some reason.

Didn't this guy also get hit in the face with a soccer ball on a Japanese variety show?

[Darth Rock&Roll]

Why do you feel bad for him?

yes that was more embarassing than this.

[everything]

this is a nice one tying back to john wang's thread about the temporary wrist grab

[Felipe Bidó]

I will say like I always say when this video has been posted here: "He hit me in the MOUF!!"

Gosao, i saw that video you talk about, and I'd love it if someone puts it here

Also the one where he gets smacked on the head with a Chinese style fan. The whole thing seemed so absurd I couldn't stop laughing... must find it now!

Why feel sorry for him? He's doing his students harm by teaching them BS that will get them killed or seriously hurt in a dangerous confrontation. He's a MA "master", it's his responsibility to be aware and honest about exactly what he is teaching. Think about all the students this video has possibly helped.

This guy wearing a red belt is possibly insulting to Japanese martial artists, but I think it more likely causes them amusement.

"Why do you feel bad for him?"

i'm not exactly sure. something about the humiliation of an old man that bothers me i guess.

who knows though. maybe he's one of them sadistic masters who indulges himself in the power he has over his students. if that's the case i wanna say, "f' him." but i don't know that so it just seems like an old man losing A LOT of face... and teeth maybe.

And students too!

There are a lot of old fools in the world too.

Age doesn't bring wisdom to many.
We do have a tendency to project archetypes on people. This is what confidence people take advantage of in us.

He was merely a fraud who got his just desserts a little late. Someone should have punched him in the face years ago.

[cerebus]

The sad part is that he apparently really believed his own hype....

[Darth Rock&Roll]

sadly, most of the people you meet in your daily life never question themselves or their own existence.

If by some chance they gather a following, those people in turn do not question themselves and in an effort to not be seen as stupid themselves, they find a way to uphold the evidence of their stupidity as sound.

Nobody likes to be seen as stupid because of what they believe in whether they can prove it or not.

This is why people who have spent 10 years training with some fraud never step up with any sort of anger at all.
Mostly they are in a state of disbelief at first, then things quell down and then they feel comfortable all over again in their stupid beliefs.

This is not the last of this guy, I'm sure he's trying to figure out better ways to move people without touching them or maybe he is even so stupid as to wonder about whether or not his aging is causing him to lose his powers. lol

Foolishness in humanity knows no bounds. Just observe your world, you'll know it to be the truth that will best serve you in your own endeavours.

In the martial arts, it always comes down to the fact that nothing dispels
self-delusion quite like an overdue physical reality check!
